Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025)
AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX
I don’t usually like to post a movie of the month that you have to pay over and above your typical streaming subscriptions…but this month it’s a shout out to Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which is now available to rent and buy.
Now - do I think it’s the greatest action film ever made - not at all but I do think it’s time for a massive shout out to a fantastic movie franchise, that has certainly brought me and my family hours of entertainment over decades now. Tom Cruise is a fantastic actor and has always pushed the limits in his own stunts over the years and that has not changed at all with this movie.
I got a bit nostalgic watching this one - knowing that we’re witnessing the end of an era, with this last chapter of the Mission: Impossible franchise - which had its first movie almost 30 years ago now, back in 1996 - believe it or not!
The story continues on from the last movie, with the IMF team continuing their mission to deal with the AI known as ‘The Entity’.
‘The Entity’ having infiltrated global intelligence systems is threatening world-wide, catastrophic destruction and the IMF team need to shut The Entity down before it’s too late. Will they be successful, who will live, who will die? As expected, it’s action from the get-go and very entertaining.
Now, the purpose of this post isn’t so much to get you to pay £13 or so to buy or rent this movie, but it’s a great opportunity to re-watch or binge watch the first 7 movies - I’ve tried my best to have a complete availability list below for you (as at the 1st September 2025):
An entertaining, all-action send off from a franchise spanning 8 movies over 29 years - 7.5/10
